Julian, 11 years old, OR | NEEDED BY 04/24

Wish submitted by:

Julian is currently living in a foster home and doing his best to adjust to this new chapter in his life. Placed in care, he has been navigating big changes while carrying the weight of missing his siblings and the place he once called home. Despite it all, Julian continues to find moments of peace and joy—especially when he’s playing soccer or spending time outside in nature. These activities give him space to breathe, reflect, and just be a kid. With time, patience, and support, Julian is slowly finding his footing and learning how to move forward while holding onto the connections that matter most to him.

Julian is hoping to make his birthday a little extra special this year by receiving a pair of Black Cat Jordans. As he continues adjusting to life in foster care, small things like this can bring a sense of normalcy, confidence, and excitement. Having a fresh pair of sneakers he loves would not only be a meaningful gift, but also something that helps him feel seen and celebrated during a time of transition. This birthday wish is more than just shoes—it’s about joy, self-expression, and giving Julian something to look forward to.
